Year of the Dog

I realize it is actually the year of the pig, but for me, it is always the year of the dog. Dogs rock. My dog rocks even more.

The facts: I'm a woman in my early 30's, terminally single, and not sure if I lament the 'S' status because society conditions me to feel incomplete without my "partner" or "soulmate", I truly am missing my better half, or I'm just fearful that people will assume I'm gay (not that there is anything wrong with that). I have a wonderful dog that I dote on like I imagine I would dote on a child, and a job that pays the bills and keeps my dog in the style to which she has grown accustomed. I have exceptional neighbors and even better friends and all in all, I have been and continue to be very blessed.
